School board member defends his ButtleOpener

FRANKLIN-The fans of NASCAR see rolling advertisements for erectile dysfunction pills and alcohol, but the logo for a new product by a Williamson County School District board member was just too risqué to appear on the hood of a car.

Mark Gregory, a school board member since 2004, is selling a life-size replica of a woman's buttocks clothed in a pair of panties. It is used to open beer bottles. The product hit the market in the fall and Gregory has traveled to NASCAR events, football games and college campuses to market what he calls the ButtleOpener.

But when he went after a NASCAR sponsorship, Gregory said the logo got a red flag.
